Finally a weatherman gets it right. After being teased by his news anchor colleagues last night, BBC weatherman Tomas Schafermaker was caught on camera as he flipped them the bird. It only lasted a few seconds, but their reactions are priceless, especially Schafermaker who can be seen fumbling his middle finger into an awkward tie-fixing, chin-scratching manoeuvre.

The Herald Sun reports today that a BBC spokesman said: “Tomasz was not aware that he was on air, and whilst the gesture was only shown for a second, it was not acceptable.” Ouch.

As for today’s weather forecast it’s likely to be somewhat cloudy with a chance of unemployment.

      he is lucky he is not in Dubai- they would arrest him, hold him for an underterminable period in Jail, have no access to legal help and then at some point of time put him on a jet and kick him out of the country
